Vol. 7 , No. 11
JUNE— completes the first half of 1931. Our ad
vertising space sales has shown an encouraging
increase each month, when we had fears that there
might be some decrease. This indicates that the
manufacturers and jobbers in the trade are doing
their best to provide the trade with good mar-
chines and good service. Even during the hot
summer days, the thoughtful operator will find it
profitable to plan for increasing his business.
Some of the propositions ‘ being made now by
manufacturers appear to be worthy of investiga
tion, for there is such a thing as being too late.
We were simply swamped with reading matter for
the June issue and through lack of space were
compelled to omit a number of publicity items, as
well as some of the regular departments of the
magazine. A number of very interesting letters
were on hand for the Automatic Mailbox column,
but this department is omitted this month; the
Automatic Calendar is also omitted. We hope to
get back to normal in the July issue. The August
issue will feature vending machines for candy and
nuts. Candy items have already proven one of
the richest fields for the use of vending machines;
nuts are a valuable product and can be success
fully vended by machine. The trade perhaps has
not considered the full possibilities in nut venders.
